Will we finally know how was covid-19 born and how it spread around the world to the point of becoming a pandemic? On Friday, March 10, 2023, the United States Congress passed a law ordering the declassification of information on the origin of the virus.
United States intelligence services have now 90 days to declassify “any information about potential links between the institute [chinois] of Wuhan virology and the origin of the coronavirus”, says the Reuters news agency.
Awaiting signing into law by Joe Biden
This law was adopted unanimously (419 votes for, 0 against) in Congress, after a first Senate vote on March 1, 2023. It must now be promulgated by Joe Biden – unless the President of the United States vetoes it.
A vote which is undoubtedly not trivial, since the hypothesis of the virus leaking from a Chinese laboratory returned to the front of the stage last month.
The Wall Street Journal had indeed reported that the United States Department of Energy had concluded that the pandemic probably originated from a Chinese lab leakevoked Reuters. An assessment that Beijing denies.
Four other US agencies still believe that Covid-19 is likely the result of a natural transmission, while two are undecided. But, more than three years after the appearance of Sars-CoV-2, scientists have not managed to precisely determine its origin.
